From your location within Parkview Estate, take a Keke Napep or a short-trip Danfo to Obalende Bus Stop. Look for vehicles at the estate gate or main roads.
At Obalende Bus Stop, find a direct Danfo or bus heading towards Ajah Bus Stop. Confirm with the conductor that they are going to 'Ajah Under Bridge' or 'Ajah Roundabout'.
From Ajah Bus Stop, which is a major transport hub, look for buses or shared taxis (like a Sienna charter) heading to Epe. Specify 'Papa Uku' when you board, as it's a specific area within Epe. The bus will likely drop you at Epe Motor Park, from where you can take a Keke or Okada to Papa Uku.
Always confirm the fare before boarding any public transport to avoid arguments later.
For the Ajah to Epe leg, look for shared Sienna buses at the main Ajah park as they might be more comfortable and sometimes faster for the longer journey.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and when boarding or alighting.
The journey can take anywhere from 3 hours to 5 hours, depending heavily on traffic conditions, especially on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Plan for at least 3.5 hours on average.
It is generally not advisable to travel this route at night using public transport due to security concerns on less developed parts of the Lekki-Epe Expressway and limited availability of transport after dark.
Using the multi-stage Danfo/BRT options as outlined is the most cost-effective. Avoid chartering private vehicles if saving money is your priority.
Direct public buses (Danfo) from Ikoyi to Epe are rare. You will almost certainly need to break your journey, typically at Ajah, which serves as a major hub for Epe-bound transport.
If you can't find a direct bus to Papa Uku, take a bus going to Epe Motor Park. From there, you can easily find a Keke Napep or Okada (motorcycle taxi) to take you directly to Papa Uku.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) is ideal to avoid peak traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and to ensure you reach Epe before it gets too late. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) is also good for lighter traffic, but plan your return trip carefully if it's a day trip.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally safe during the day, long-distance public transport can sometimes be associated with 'one-chance' incidents, especially when traveling alone or at odd hours. Always use busy, recognized bus parks and avoid isolated stops. Evening travel on the Lekki-Epe Expressway can feel isolated in less developed areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for parts of the journey (e.g., from CMS to Ajah), but not directly from Parkview Estate to Epe. There is no rail service connecting Ikoyi or Epe.
